True Detective Memes
While the show itself takes on some heavy-handed topics, there’s always fun to be made of fictional premises and characters, and so fun we will make! Here are the top 10 True Detective memes we found. However, we’re not here to delve into the often cynical nature of the show (at least, not much, we hope). Instead, we will take a look at some of the brilliant memes people have come up with using screencaps or concepts from the show since its release. The first season of True Detective, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as Rustin Cohle and Martin Hart respectively, premiered on January 12, 2014 on HBO. True Detective’s first season delves into philosophical skepticism, masculinity, and Christianity. The show’s portrayal of women, its novelist sensibility, and the impacts of comics and weird horror fiction on its narrative have all been praised by critics. With the latter seasons not exactly being fan favorites, we’ll stick to season 1 for our memes. True Detective memes? You mean the asset, such as a re-posted picture or video or a genre of items mostly from True Detective that are widely disseminated on the internet, particularly through social media? At least that’s what Rustin Cohle would say!
Time is a flat circle
The next time you put yourself out on the dating scene let Cohle’s words echo into your intuition. You know we’ve all been there.
McConaughey Hero Concept
It’s funny how the personalities of the characters stars portray are often far, far removed from who they are in real life. That being said, knowing Rust Cohle, it wouldn’t be completely ridiculous to think that he might prefer his more grizzled self.
Ah Yes That True Detective Existential Dread Again
If you’ve run out of ways to answer the casual “How have you been?” here’s a more “witty” approach to avoid such encounters in the future. Spoiler alert: Don’t expect to have many friends if you start taking this approach.
Over-analyzing done in the style of True Detective
Face it — we all did it or still do, but Cohle did not have to make us question everything right? Right?
The Best Part Of Getting Out Bed Is That Juicy Existential Dread
We have all felt it consistently enough for even True Detective to mock us for it. Let’s laugh a little for once without feeling guilty about it?
Cohled Cut
If you enjoy your food cold and your True Detective personality type Buzzfeed quiz shows Rust Cohle then this meme is just the one for you.
Insomnia? Don’t You Mean…
If you want to justify your insomnia in the most True Detective way possible, consider Cohle’s approach to brooding adulthood. The man is like a discount Dementor, for the Harry Potter fans out there.
Stuck In A Time Loop
Some fan theories suggests that McConaughey and Harrelson are stuck in the Hollywood time loop, and some say it all is just a mere coincidence but its best to say… only time can tell.
Not On Time
Cohle’s face says it all. Whether we had someone do it to us or we did it to someone else, there are always cases where you’re late simply because you’d really rather not go there.
What Happened in True Detective Season 2?
Being let down by the latest season(s) of a show after a promising start is one of the most depressing things you can experience as a series lover — almost as depressing as True Detective itself.
